"Fair Trials International has this month written to Ronald K Noble, the Secretary General of INTERPOL, to highlight the misuse of its international wanted person alerts to enforce civil debts and bounced cheques by countries in the Middle East. The letter urges INTERPOL to put in place safeguards so that its Red Notice system focuses on bringing serious international criminals to justice rather than wrecking the lives of normal people who have provided blank cheques as security, a common practice in a number of countries across the region."
